| 299340 | 2004-12-03 02:58:00 | Gidday, I've just bought a new case for my mobo (msi-6577) The case is an x-blade with a standard power button on front. My old case had a button that attached to the mobo, however the new case has a cable that looks like it connects to a power cable from the psu. I've ripped out the old switch and connected it to the mobo just to get it going, and had no problems. Question: Is there a way to start this type of mobo with the front switch supplied from this case? Specs: xp home p4 2.4ghz 9800 pro 1gb ram mobo ms-6577 Many thanks! |

| 299341 | 2004-12-03 03:03:00 | the case should also come with a variety of plugs that plug into your mobo , as well as the power switch ( to normally power some sort of light ) , look in you manual for front panel connectors or something like that | noone (22) | ||
| 299342 | 2004-12-03 04:47:00 | Hey again Noone! Didn't get any manuals or extra plugs to choose from unfortunately. Surprised I even wired it all up correctly! (Well at least it seems to be OK) Maybe I'll go down to the local and see what plugs I can get... |

| 299343 | 2004-12-03 06:02:00 | so when you push the computer on plug on the case , the computer goes on , and the power button is not connected to the motherboard | noone (22) | ||
| 299344 | 2004-12-03 08:31:00 | ...the power button on the new case does nothing.... only the switch ive hooked up to the mobo gets it going...but that hangs out the back of the machine, so would love to hook up the real one. |

| 299345 | 2004-12-03 08:35:00 | ok now i got you - if this is the case i would suggest you would take it back , cases should have wires that connect to the motherboard so that you can tuen them on ! | noone (22) | ||
| 299346 | 2004-12-04 02:09:00 | If the switch on the case is a "push-on/push-off" one, rather than a push-on (which doesn't stay in) it's intended for an AT supply, not an ATX. An AT supply has the mains 230V AC controlled by that switch. An ATX supply has 5V Dc on that switch. | Graham L (2) | ||
